The name of the sword – Black Hole
As the auction neared its end, the final appearance of the pitch-black sword surprised everyone, but they also felt that it was only natural.
This sword was blunt and had no edge. It weighed a thousand jin and looked very ordinary, but it was also very sturdy. Even a Yin-Yang Realm expert couldn't break it, let alone use its full power.
Such an existence was too mysterious. If someone could uncover its secrets, they would definitely be able to greatly increase their strength in a very short period of time. They would also be more confident in participating in the Sword Cleansing Trial.
Thus, everyone knew that Chang Mingyang had taken out the pitch-black sword to create momentum. He wanted to make a huge profit before the Sword Cleansing Trial began.
Reality proved that Chang Mingyang's mind was very sharp. He accurately grasped the thoughts of the crowd. Many people were tempted when they saw the pitch-black sword and wanted to buy it to find out what it was.
However, the instant those people heard Chu Xingyun's bid, all of the thoughts in their hearts disappeared. They no longer had any thoughts about the pitch-black heavy sword.
What they feared was not the price, but Chu Xingyun.
One had to know that the young man in front of him looked harmless, gentle and easy-going, but his methods were hard to predict. In just a short period of time, he had Chang Mingyang in the palm of his hand.
Now, Chu Xingyun had made another bid. The item he wanted to auction was Chang Mingyang's pitch-black sword.
This caused the crowd's imagination to run wild. They looked at the two of them with hesitation and uncertainty.
Bidding for the pitch-black heavy sword was already a gamble. No one knew whether or not the pitch-black heavy sword actually contained any secrets. At the same time, bidding against Chu Xing Yun was also a gamble. No one knew whether or not Chu Xing Yun had some hidden tricks up his sleeve.
After careful consideration, those people finally chose to give up. They didn't want to get involved in this mess!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yun Changqing was a little stunned. But he still raised his hand and said clearly, "1.1 million Spirit Stones, going once."
His voice was very calm, but it fell like a shocking thunder, causing Chang Mingyang to suddenly come back to his senses.
His eyes were gloomy as he coldly swept his gaze over the crowd. When his gaze finally landed on Chu Xingyun, there was nothing but killing intent and coldness. He was as ferocious as a devil.
"Qin Kong." Chang Mingyang spoke in a low voice. Qin Kong, who was beside him, immediately stepped out and lifted his hand. But before he could say anything, Yun Changqing's voice drifted over. Yun Changqing solemnly stated, "According to the rules of the auction, the auctioneers are not allowed to raise the price. Could it be that you all want to violate this rule?"
When Yun Changqing spoke, he did not look at Chang Mingyang and the others. However, everyone present knew that Yun Changqing was reminding them and warning them to stop Qin Kong from bidding.
The essence of an auction was that the highest bidder would win.
If the auctioneer wantonly raised the price, not only would it be unfair to others, but it would also have a huge impact on the auction house. It was very likely that there would be a situation where the auction would go unsold, which would affect the auction house's reputation.
Therefore, Chang Mingyang and Qin Kong were not allowed to participate in the auction of the black sword this time.
"1.1 million Spiritual Stones, going twice." Yun Changqing continued to count.
His every word and sentence affected the minds of Chang Mingyang and the others. One by one, they closed their eyes and prayed silently in their hearts.
However, no one in the auction house made a bid.
Chu Xingyun stood where he was and stared at the black sword. His expression was still indifferent as if he had already expected this to happen.
"1.1 million Spiritual Stones, going thrice!"
Yun Changqing shouted thrice. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Chu Xingyun. "This black sword will belong to this Young Master."
Thump!
It was this sound that made Chang Mingyang's face no longer look ferocious. His eyes were hollow and there was a strong sense of loneliness in them.
His ultimate goal in coming to the auction was to help build momentum for the pitch-black heavy sword and amass a large amount of wealth.
In his opinion, no matter how bad the mysterious black sword was, it could be auctioned for 3 million Spiritual Stones or even higher.
However, in the end, the black sword was sold for only 1.1 million Spiritual Stones. Moreover, the person who won it was Chu Xingyun who had tricked him twice.
For a moment, Chang Mingyang felt a strong sense of disappointment in his heart. He was stunned. When Qin Kong and the others saw this, they did not dare to say anything for fear of angering Chang Mingyang.
In an instant, Chang Mingyang's VIP room was dead silent. It was so quiet that it was somewhat frightening.
On the other side, Chu Xingyun had already obtained the black sword.
Under the bright light, the entire sword looked simple and unremarkable. The black sword body seemed to be able to swallow all the light. It was quiet and deep, making it difficult for people to see through it.
Chu Xingyun gently stroked the sword. His expression was very calm, but in the depths of his heart, monstrous waves had already been set off. He said with incomparable excitement, "It's really the Black Hole Sword!"
Because of his excitement, his voice actually trembled a little.
In his previous life, Chu Xingyun had entered Tianling Mountain and was fortunate enough to obtain a Rare Treasure Catalog.
There was no trace of who had written this book. He only knew that this catalog recorded countless strange treasures.
Chu Xingyun was a sword cultivator. He was obsessed with swords, but he was also good at swords.
When he was flipping through the Rare Treasure Catalog, he had seen a sword that had left a deep impression on him.
This sword was a heavy sword called the Black Hole Sword.
According to the catalog, the Black Hole Sword did not have a grade or any special ability. Its mystery was that in the deepest part of the sword, there was a black halo.
This black halo looked extremely ordinary, but its existence was able to absorb everything. Even sound and light could not escape from it. It was extremely heavy and seemed to be boundless, with no end in sight.
Once a cultivator could control the Black Hole Sword, they could form a resonance with the black halo and use it to control infinite gravity. As for what the black halo was, no one knew. It had always been a mystery.
However, the Rare Treasure Catalog pointed out that the Black Hole Sword's power could be said to be limitless. If it could be pushed to the peak, even facing an Emperor Artifact could be easily broken.
"If it can easily break an Emperor Artifact, then this sword is very likely to be a peerless Emperor Artifact." Seeing such a shocking introduction, Chu Xingyun could not help but exclaim. At the same time, he deeply remembered the Black Hole Sword's existence.
Today, when he had received the auction list and seen the Black Hole Sword, the appearance of the Black Hole Sword had appeared in his mind, as well as many introductions.
However, at that time, he had not seen the real thing, so he had only suspected it.
Even so, at that time, Chu Xingyun had already made up his mind. Whether or not this sword was the Black Hole Sword, he had to get it and not attract the attention of the crowd.
Furthermore, his scheme was also very ingenious.
The first step was to crazily increase the price with Chang Mingyang and show his powerful wealth to intimidate the crowd.
The second step was to deliberately raise the price and ridicule Chang Mingyang in public so that the crowd would not dare to provoke him.
The third step was to lie low and wait. The moment the Black Hole Sword appeared, he would be the first to make a bid and gain the upper hand.
These three steps were very simple, but each step was a psychological attack. Everyone's attention was focused on Chang Mingyang, and they did not pay much attention to the Black Hole Sword.
"The existence of the Black Hole Sword is so precious that it can no longer be measured by Spirit Stones. I didn't expect that I would easily buy this sword with only 1.1 million Spirit Stones. If Chang Mingyang knew the truth, he would probably vomit blood and die on the spot."
Chu Xingyun thought to himself. With a wave of his hand, he put the Black Hole Sword into his storage ring. His expression was still calm and composed. Even Xia Qingcheng, who was beside him, did not notice anything strange.
Not long after, the auction came to an end.
After Yun Changqing finished reading the closing words, the crowd could not wait to leave.
Everyone had gained something from this auction. Now, they had to return to their residences as soon as possible. They either took elixirs, practiced martial arts, or familiarized themselves with weapons. Everyone had different purposes, but their purpose was to become stronger and prepare for the Sword Cleansing Trial.
Chu Xingyun and Xia Qingcheng walked side by side and slowly left the palace. But not long after, they stopped.
In front of them, a group of people blocked the road.
"You are the first person who has the guts to embarrass me so many times." Chang Mingyang's face was ashen. Today's auction was definitely a nightmare. The humiliation almost drove him completely crazy.
"Is that so?" Chu Xingyun laughed a few times. Before he took a step, a figure slowly descended from the void in front of him.
It was Yun Changqing.
He landed between the two of them. His eyes were emotionless, as if there was no emotion. He said coldly, "The auction has just ended. Fighting is prohibited. No matter who it is, they must abide by this rule. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!"
His cold voice froze the space in an instant. At the same time, it also froze Chang Mingyang's murderous intent.
His eyes spat out flames of hatred and anger. He shouted ferociously, "You are Luo Yun, right? I look forward to your performance in the Sword Cleansing Trial. I hope you will show up."
With that, Chang Mingyang turned his head and walked into the distance.
He left with endless coldness.
"Let's go." After the group of people left, Yun Changqing said calmly. The surrounding people trembled slightly and left one after another. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.
"Thank you, Senior Yun, for your help." Xia Qingcheng bowed slightly. She could see that Yun Changqing intended to help them out.
Yun Changqing did not respond. He turned his head and looked at Chu Xingyun. After a moment of silence, he said, "You don't have to participate in the Sword Cleansing Trial this time."
Chu Xingyun frowned slightly and looked up.
"Today, you mocked Chang Mingyang many times and made Chang Mingyang lose his treasure. He will not let you go. If you participate in the Sword Cleansing Trial, you will die without a doubt. Therefore, you don't have to participate in the Sword Cleansing Trial this time."
Yun Changqing spoke in a heavy tone. After which, he slowly walked towards the depths of the palace, leaving behind Xia Qingcheng, who was still in a daze.
Chu Xingyun watched Yun Changqing leave and spat out a mouthful of turbid Qi. His eyes flashed with sharpness. He thought to himself, "The grudge between me and Chang Mingyang is irreconcilable. Only when one of us dies will it end."
